★★★★★john irving40+ years ago, I was a poor hungry child living nearby to this camp. They took care of me, fed me, and introduced me to Christ and his love. I remember to this day how these counselors impacted my life and shaped who I became. Thank you for all you do. If you don't hear it enough, your mission changes lives. Keep it up.
★★★★★Heather PhillipsToni and Jeff were amazing! They welcomed us with open arms and made us feel at home. Book a retreat or event with them. You will not forget it. The food was amazing, and they had a 24-hour coffee and tea bar.
★★★★★Billijo BlairHigh Braes Refuge is such a beautiful venue for church retreats. The directors Jeff and Toni are so attentive to making sure your needs are met during your stay. The property is large with lots of space to roam and walk to find some solace in nature to be alone and pray or to enjoy a nice walk with friends to the beautiful waterfalls. The refuge itself is clean, with comfortable bedding and plenty of space for fellowship with your group. This was my second time at High Braes Refuge and I look forward to going back next year.
